6.1.3 Hot Plugging
The Console KVM Switch supports hot plugging – components can be removed and added to the computer by unplugging their cables from the
ports without the need to shut down the KVM.
6.1.4 Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the KVM switch, or if the switch loses power and needs to be restarted, wait 10 seconds before powering
it back on. The computers should not be affected by this, but should any of them should fail, simply restart the affected computers.
6.1.5 USB Peripheral Devices
The USB 1.1 port on the keyboard module’s front panel can connect a USB peripheral device, such as a flash drive, CD-ROM drive or printer.
Any computer connected to the device can access the USB peripheral on a one-by-one basis. When switching from one computer to another,
the peripheral device automatically disconnects from the original computer and connects to the newly selected computer.
Note:
When connecting a flash drive or other type of external storage device, always eject the device prior to switching ports.
